Doing What Must Be Done
Here I Interview Ms. Clarita Lico, my former Mathematics teacher at Westmoor High School in Daly City. I chose Ms. Lico because I've done interviews with her before and I know that she is not afraid to speak her mind. Here she discusses her journey from the Philippines to the United States in order to reunite with her family.
